Scientists uncovered how the amino acid leucine enhances mitochondrial efficiency by preserving crucial proteins that drive ...

From designing proteins not found in nature to extending healthy lifespan, Retro Biosciences is applying AI models to advance ...

If you have ever cooked on a gas stove or seen a flame flicker to life with the turn of a knob, you have seen natural gas in action. Supplying that energy at scale, however, is far more complicated.

Founders are often the first investors in their companies. And whether that business gains venture backing, raises money from friends and family, or remains self-funded, it can make determining your ...

The isoelectric point (pI) of a peptide is the pH at which the molecule carries no net electrical charge. Calculating the pI of a peptide is essential in various fields such as biochemistry, protein ...

A new study from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences sheds light on one of life's greatest mysteries: why biology is based on a very ...

Have you ever settled in for a movie night, only to be interrupted by an endless stream of ads on your favorite streaming platforms even though you are paying for a subscription? It’s frustrating, isn ...

Amino acids have long been known to improve the stability and solubility of proteins. Amino acids might be added to insulin, for example, to maintain shelf-life and stop undesired chemical reactions ...

For decades, amino acids have been added to medical formulations like insulin as stabilizers: these small molecules keep proteins (i.e. larger particles) from interacting in undesirable ways. And for ...

Researchers demonstrated how amino acids could spontaneously attach to RNA under early Earth-like conditions using thioesters, providing a long-sought clue to the origins of protein synthesis. This ...
